Divisions:

These frameworks have a dual use: as a flow (as shown in the series example) or as a game board.

Flow: the "winding road" is an unusual but effective alternative to a gantt or timeline. The series example is a visual way to show the overall arc of a woman's career.

Game board: a variation from this series can be used as a projection or a "roadmap" for specific events that will take place. Bridges can be added to bypass sections of the path. Use animation to reveal the events.
